Sarah,In 1987 I was just like you ,needing a nap or falling asleep talking to people and or/while driving also!I went to Cleveland Clinic and was diagonosed with sleep apnea.I have felt so much better for years!A lot of small hospitals have sleep -labs now and can test you for sleep-apnea.The reason I'm on this site I was just recently dx/with bi-polar and my Dr. thinks I have chronic fatigue.I've had fm and rheumatoid arthritis for years and now so tired I'm off work,I sleep 10-12 hrs a night and am too tired to do hardly anything.They had to change my Prozac and Lithium to morning time 'cause it was keeping me up all night.It seems like FM&RA/ and sleep disorers and chronic fatigue and/ Bi-polar are all linked?I'ts like which cams first??The mental illness or the Chronic fatigue???Kinda' like the chicken or the egg theroy??ha,ha,Anyone got any info for me??I'm going to my family Dr. wed.12th>>Then Cleveland on19th. Thanks,Jean
